Honesty  Billy Joel

If you search for tenderness
It isn't hard to find
You can have the love you need to live
But if you look for truthfulness
You might just as well be blind
It always seems to be so hard to give

Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you

I can always find someone to say they sympathize
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve
But I don't want some pretty face to tell me pretty lies
All I want is someone to believe

I can find a lover
I can find a friend
I can have security until the bitter end
Anyone can comfort me with promises again
I know, I know

When I'm deep inside of me
Don't be too concerned
I won't ask for nothing while I'm gone
But when I want sincerity
Tell me where else can I turn
Because you're the one that I depend upon
真 誠  比利喬

如果你在尋找溫柔
那並不難找
你可以擁有你需要的愛
但如果你在尋找" 忠實 "
你大概是眼睛瞎了
那始終是很難給予的

" 真誠 "是如此寂寞的字眼
每個人都如此虛偽
" 真誠 "已許久不曾聽聞
也是我希望從你身上得到的

我總是會遇到一些說非常同情我的人
如果我以真情表白
但我不要漂亮的臉孔告訴我美麗的謊言
我要的是可以信任的人

我可以找到情人
我可以找到朋友
保護我直到悲苦的結局都不受到傷害
任何人都可以用承諾來安慰我
我明白,我都明白……

當我過度耽溺
別太擔心我
當我離去時,我一無所求
但當我需要" 忠誠 "
告訴我該往何處去
只因你是我唯一信賴的人
